Elliot was a bit surprised for multiple reasons at obtaining so many titles. He was pleased to be rewarded for his efforts. He had worked hard to keep their losses low and the enemies' max. He was itching to hear some words of praise, and they came in the shape of golden words, brightening his mood.
The people around him were looking at him as if he was a monster, dimming his mood. Lucy, Oliver, and Arthur were terrified for him. He had killed so much, but his expression remained the same. From the very start till now, the smile hasn't left his face. It was as if the ones he killed weren't humans but pigs whose meat would bring him cash.
Grace and the other beasts didn't mind his unhinging ferociousness as they lived in a dog-eat-dog world where a strong person like him was admired. If he wasn't a human but a beast, the four guardians would have already cooked up plans to have him marry their daughter and produce some strong hires for them.
Elliot could see the many gazes of admiration directed towards him. He could feel a few pairs of eyes filled with disbelief and fear mixed in with them. He knew that Lucy and the magic knights were thinking that he indulged in killing others. Well, that was hardly true. He was smiling all along because of the pleasant notification ringing in his ears, telling him how much he had gained! Although he knew that they would misunderstand his smile for something else, he was also too lazy to change his expression to suit their taste.
Elliot returned to Grace's head, using it as some kind of bed. He plopped his butt on her shiny and scaly surface before brandishing his sword towards a certain direction and shouting out loud, ”To the center!”
An instant after those words left his mouth, the beasts gathered around him started to dash forward, and Grace followed after them, bringing him and Lucy along. She was moving fast but the ride was smooth, enough for Lucy to stand up and walk without falling. She came up to Elliot and sat beside him, enticing a word out of his mouth.
”What?” Elliot asked, breaking the silence.
”You look a lot terrifying with blood on your face.” She replied while looking at his face.
Was she here to taunt him? Wasn't all the blood on his body a result of his bravery to stand against their nemesis? Yet, he still gets taunted in return. What a joke! Elliot's eyes raised. They showed calmness but madness was swirling deep in them. Something bad would have happened to her already if she wasn't her sister.
After saying that, to Elliot's surprise, she took a cloth out of her spatial device, used clear water to wet it, and then wiped the blood off his face. She was attentive, and gently cleaned his face before cleaning his hands.
Elliot realized that he misunderstood her! He also felt warm because of her actions, causing him to have more good feelings for her.
”Did you get any injury?”
”Nope.” Elliot shook his head.
However, she still placed a pill in his hands.
”It's a refreshments pill. Eat it to clear your mind.” She said, calmly lying through her teeth.
Elliot could tell that she was telling a lie because the pill in his hand wasn't a refreshment pill, a medicine made out of mint and other ingredients, typically consumed to soothe the body and refreshen the breath.
